However, that presents a whole other slew of financial barriers in funding the repairs.

Last point, you also need to know how the presented track record aligns with current fees and waterfall.  

Also having a higher proportion of revenue generated through the residential component of the building does make financing easier. (3) The exception to the 80% rule I abide by is when the commercial space is leased to a credit tenant with a proven & sustainable business  or where the space presents the opportunity to attract a neighborhood amenity F&B operator (this is most beneficial in instances where you have a larger localized portfolio where these commercial tenants can positively impact the value of your overall residential portfolio).

Charlie called back today and told he is waiting for court hearing and will present his findings, basically the same as you shared above.Regards!

Through a lot of conversations and connections, someone has presented me with the opportunity to buy an 8-unit multifamily property.

What I cannot endorse is the misleading presentations by some cost segregation companies to sell their services. 

@Keonhee ChoThe Austin area presents challenges in finding properties that cash flow, especially with BRRRR, due to high property prices and rising rehab costs.

to me I view an inspection contingency as you do it and if something is wrong you present it to the seller and say "hey fix this, reduce the price OR if it was major and really bad just walk away".If no inspection was done, then its unethical but reality is its not worth a seller to sue over it.

There's no reason to go ALL financing or ALL cash, but to be strategic about how to use your funds to acquire more properties as opportunities present themselves.Hope that helps with your thought process.

The rules for who may represent an LLC in a court depend on far more information than is present.
